Why can a Gold league player play with a Bronze?

Well then here's the thing. Don't make it a grind system. There are better ways to make a ranking system. But the way they have set it up, anyone can make it to the top. I find that extremely lame and I know I'm not the only one. Why make a ranking system if the ranks aren't true to each player? I understand everything that each person has said and to make an observation, I believe that the only people who have commented on this post are those who want to play with lower ranks or lower ranks who want to play with their friends who are higher ranks. And in response, I say, play regular Apex. That's why it's still open. If you don't have the time, that sucks. If you're not the best at the game, that's okay. But if Apex is going to make a ranking system that makes sense, then they need to reset the parameters for ranking up instead of just making it a grind system. It's no one's fault but the makers of the game and their short-sightedness. I'm not the best at the game and I don't have all the time in the world, but I'd rather make it as far as I can honestly.
